Hey, this song is "Don't think of me" by Dido.

Barret looked into Tifa's eyes, and said some of the words she wanted to hear. "Tifa, I know where he is..." He pretended to cough, and broke his eye contact with Tifa. Then he continued, "He's with Elena, and I saw Tseng there last night."

Tifa got up and ran out of the door as fast as her legs could carry. She didn't want to hear anymore of Barret's story about Cloud being with Elena, she couldn't face it. She heard Barret calling after her as she ran and wondered why he didn't bother to try and catch her. Always had been a good runner... she thought to herself. Then she got back to her home that had kept her away from the world for the past weeks. She started to think of all that Elena had to offer to a man, and why Cloud might have wanted Elena over Tifa.

So you're with her, and not with me, I hope she's sweet, and so pretty
I hear she cooks delightfully, a little angel beside you
So you're with her, and not with me, oh how lucky one man can be
I hear your house is smart and clean, oh how lovely with your homecoming
queen
Oh how lovely it must be

Does he take pleasure in thinking of me? Does he enjoy the fact of hurting someone like that so much? Tifa sighed. A question was answered, and yet more questions were aroused. The storm in her mind grew. Throwing herself on the bed she imagined what a perfect life Cloud and Elena had. A white fence and a freshly trimmed lawn. Cloud coming home from a job and Elena rushing out to greet him. Then Elena throws herself on him and they share a hug and a kiss. Tifa tossed and turned, if Cloud did take pleasure in hurting her, she wished he wouldn't think of her.

When you see her sweet smile baby, don't think of me
When she lays in your warm arms, don't think of me

Tifa started imagining Elena hurting Cloud by her loving another. Hoping it wouldn't hurt him too much, she pictured Tseng leaving Elena's house after sleeping with her. Thinking of Cloud's beautiful face when he found out that Elena had cheated on him. If someone told him how Tseng left her house at such a late hour. Tifa began to think of all these horrible things that Elena could do and hurt her poor Cloud. "Cloud I would never hurt you like that," Tifa said aloud.

So you're with her, and not with me, I know she spreads sweet honey
In fact your best friend, I heard he spent last night with her
Now how do you feel
When you see her sweet smile baby, don't think of me
When she lays in your warm arms, don't think of me

Then she thought of Cloud coming back to Tifa, with flowers for her. She thought of him telling her how stupid he was for leaving her, and how he would plead for Tifa to take him back. Tifa knew that she wasn't strong without Cloud, but she would have to make him feel badly about what he did to her. How he had cheated on her with Elena. She would make him regret what he did, she would make him sleep on the couch, and wear all those clothes that Cloud didn't want her to wear because of how they showed off her body. She'd tell him that it was too late to apologize and everything else, but she knew she would take him back. She still loved him and she knew he still loved her, and if they had that, then they would have everything.

And it's too late and it's too bad, don't think of me
Oh it's too late and it's too bad, don't think of me
Does it bother you now all the mess I made
Does it bother you now the clothes you told me not to wear
Does it bother you now all the angry games we played
Does it bother you now when I'm not there

Did he miss her? Or was it just wishful thinking? Or was Cloud only thinking of Elena? Did they have the same affection for each other as Cloud and Tifa? Tifa decided something that night as she sat and imagined Cloud and Elena so happy together, that she would do anything to get him back. Was he missing her? Was he there against his will? Why hadn't he told her anything! Tifa fell to a light sleep that night, thinking of Cloud and Elena, running through fields and having picnics, kissing playfully... The next morning Tifa woke up and her pillow was wet with tears, as her face was stained with them. "Oh Cloud, I hope your not taking pleasure in this..." she said to herself sitting on her bed, with all her nightmares.

When you see her sweet smile baby, don't think of me
When she lays in your warm arms, don't think of me
And It's too late and it's too bad, don't think of me
Oh it's too late, oh it's too bad, don't think of me.
